Welcome glad that you found us sorry that you had to. Your Uncle is doing well being able to talk after 2 weeks, when I had my graft they kept me nil my mouth for 4 weeks I presume to let all the healing take place, so I hope that he will keep progressing, I didn't have radiation but I understand that most who have done so have been glad of the feeding tube, not only for food but to keep hydrated.
Hopefully after the holiday someone will be able to help you more..
Sunshine.. love and hugs
